Note from the Author: Hmmm, you know what? I'm going to keep going with this story! It's really starting to grow on me.
Weeow.
"What?"
The girl looked up at Will and said once more very clearly, making sure to enunciate everything.
"I said: That's. Not. A. Ver-"
"I know what you said, I just don't understand. And why are you reading that letter? it's very personal"
The girl handed the framed letter over to Will. She got up on her feet and walked a little bit closer to him until she was about two inches away from his lips, then She spoke. "I am family dearest William, Not blood related to you, but I suppose you would now be my cousin in law... Hmm... or Would you just be a cousin? You know I can never remember" Will still looked puzzled. He could feel her hot breath on his mouth, he didn't move any closer but also did not pull away from her. Then there was a knock on the door. "You come down stairs, Lizzy will know weather or not you belong here." He grabbed her hand and practically dragged her down the stairs and got to opening the door. Elizabeth was quite shocked to see Will with a girl dressed like, well, that. She knew he would never dream of touching another woman, He was a good honest man who kept his promises.
"Who is that Will? Where did she come from? and HOW did she get into our house?"
Will was about to answer but then the strange pirate put her hand over his mouth and moved closer to Elizabeth, she then presented Elizabeth with a scar, it was a large one that had faded somewhat over the years. It was directly on her left forearm. Will looked very confused, He had thought that the wound that had once been there must have been self inflicted.
Suddenly Elizabeth burst out in tears, and the strange woman hugged her and handed her a handkerchief that reeked of rum. Elizabeth saw the Will was still in the dark and began to tell him that indeed this woman was her cousin. "I was told she had died, don't you remember her Will? She often played in the mansion with me." He shook his head, he had no such memories. Then the girl grabbed Will by the back of his hair and gave it a tug. "How about now? Remember me now? I was that violent little girl who always used to do that to you... Hmmm I should really reconsider starting that all up again, it's rather fun. I suppose you don't remember my name dearest William, probably because you were too busy fawning over Lizzy to ever ask me as children. I was once called Emilia Swann, But I refuse to sail under such a name. You may call me Milly. Not many pirates know that I am of the Swann Family, most just call me Milly."
Will had never met a Pirate like her, Although she was very beautiful, most of the Swann girls are, he was not attracted to her. Her eye's on the other hand were almost hypnotizing, hence why he didn't move when she had come close to locking lips with him. She wouldn't have done that anyways, She cared to much for Lizzy. Elizabeth sat Milly down and offered to get her another dress. "Why? What's wrong with this one?" Will chuckled at hearing that. Elizabeth fetched Milly some tea, Even though Milly refused her offer. "Oh nonsense, We're going to to sit and catch up this afternoon" Milly seemed to be alright with that idea. Will however noticed something odd though about her, besides the obvious. "Where is your Pirate branding?" Elizabeth was shocked that Will would doubt her family. 'William Turner!" But Milly hushed Elizabeth. "Well I really didn't want it on my wrist, it reminded me to much of the scar on my left forearm, which is a bit of a downer. I do however have one..." She got a wicked smile, but was only joking of course when she said "You want to see it?".
Will said his thanks but refused. Then he finally accepted that yes, this strange Milly woman was a part of the family and that it was only kind to be hospitable. "Why are you in Port Royal Milly? 'Tis not exactly very welcoming to Pirates, other than me I suppose..."
She took a sip of her tea and obviously did not like the taste. "sorry Lizzy, I can't finish this.. It's been too long since I've had it last, it's just not the same to me anymore. I've brought something for drinking anyways" She pulled out a flask that she had hid under her cleavage, it was filled with rum, Lizzy could smell it from where she was sitting. Lizzy was also interested in why Milly had returned to Port Royal from, what seemed like, beyond the grave. "Well you see, my ship has sunk to the bottom of the ocean and I am here because there is truly no where better to-"
"You're here to steal a ship? Emilia Swann..."
"That be captain Emilia Swann dear, And I'm not Stealing a ship, I'm commandeering one. Two VERY different things"
Will looked down at Elizabeth and they smiled for a moment before showing Milly where she could sleep if she needed. "Thanks Cousins, I'll be sleeping for the next several hours, I must warn you not to wake me, I've been told that I'm violent when being woken" She trotted up to the guest bedroom that Elizabeth had just put together for her. After she had dozed off Will sat down next to Elizabeth and shot her a funny look. "What?" Will he didn't say anything just smiled. "What Will?" He just started to laugh mildly and then said "Does she not remind you of someone?"
"You can't be comparing my cousin to Jack! They may share some pirate qualities but other than that they are so very different. She is a lady Will, A highly respected member of the Swann family!"
Wills smile faded and his face went emotionless.
"And that's exactly why you were told she was dead, I could see how the Swann family would not want to be associated with the likes of her, she may be family but she is not a very lady like woman Lizzy"
Elizabeth sighed, Will was right, she knew that. However Elizabeth still refused to see the connection between her cousin and a dirty pirate such as Jack. Then it struck her.
"Will, You said that the black pearl was going to be in and around the coast of Port Royal didn't you?"
He nodded.
"Do you know when he will be arriving?"
He took a sip of what he thought was his tea, but it turned out to be Milly's cup, funny, it tasted like it had been tainted with Rum. "Elizabeth, I've heard word that he will be close to our port, but I'm not sure it's true, I do hope so. Why do you ask?" Elizabeth stood up and looked out the window. It was very dark other than a small light in the far distance out at sea.
"The pearl is coming Will, and Milly is planning on commandeering it!"
Weeow.
"What?"
The girl looked up at Will and said once more very clearly, making sure to enunciate everything.
